Pipette Tips

Pipette Tips

TipOne pipette tip system:
High quality pipette tips to fit all popular pipettes
TipOne® Filter Tips

TipOne® Filter Tips

Protect your samples against unwanted contamination by using TipOne® filter tips.

During pipetting it is not possible to see with the eye if fine aerosols are going into your pipette. If they are, those aerosols can contaminate other samples at a later date. TipOne® filter tips are proven to block >99% of aerosols and are among the best filters on the market.

TipOne® filters are made from high density pure polyethylene. They contain no additives which can interfere with your sample. The filters are hydrophobic and will not absorb your samples the way sealing filters do, allowing recovery of your valuable samples if necessary.

Universal! TipOne® filter tips are designed to fit all popular pipettes without any loss of accuracy or precision.

All filter tips are sterile and are available in racked or an economical refill option.
